Well this is my latest adventure and it was truely amazing. I had an aerobatic flight is this little plane, a Pitts Special 2A. I got to do barrel rolls, loops, snap turns, stall recovery, inglerom manauvres and every other type of manouvre you can think of ! Unfortunatly though it wasnt the slightest bit scary, i thought being such a little plane it would be jumping all over the place. But to be honest the plane ride was so smooth it felt completly normal whilst doing all the aerobatics. The only annoying thing was that i really wanted to know how much g we were pulling in some of the manouvres but it was waaaayy to much to get my head forward to see the …

It was a challenge on the ice between two and four wheels stars at Madonna di Campiglio. Despite the sub-zero temperature almost five thousand people thronged to the Ice Karting arena at Madonna di Campiglio to take in an exhibition including Michael Schumacher, Rubens Barrichello, Luca Badoer, Loris Capirossi and Carlos Checa. The organisers of Wroom, the traditional Ferrari meeting dedicated to the specialist press on the snow at Campiglio, is now in its 15th year. This year, the spectators had the rare chance of seeing the Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro stars lining up against the Ducati Marlboro Team. Unfortunately, Carlos Checa was unable to take part in the rac…

Hi, Ever gone into a bend with chevrons plastered everywhere only to find it wasn't a bend at all just a flat out kink, or, the other way round gone barrelling into a non chevroned bend to be confronted with the mother of all bends and had to anchor up sharpish. Here's an idea, howabout changing these inconsistant signs with rally notes on signs. (Stay with me). Instead of the wiggle bend sign how about a bloody great sign that say LEFT 3 INTO SHARP RIGHT FOLLOWED BY FLAT 6 Even better FLAT 6 INTO BROW, WHEELIE 3RD GEAR Well i was bored at work today!

I'm waiting for a shed to be delivered so that my pride and joy has somewhere dry to live. At 5am today I was woken up by a noise outside. My beloved Exup was lying on its side on the lawn - a victim of these 80mph winds! The wind had got under the cover and caused the bike to fall to the right. I can't see any damage but shall have a look when it gets light

So you're not content with whinging to the Mods? And you're not content with whinging to me? You're now whinging to Alex who's in Australia at the moment. Now my position here is looking after the software while Alex is away. I've said before that the Mods deal with board matters, not me. And besides that...I'm also a MEMBER here. I'm entitled to post as a MEMBER. And now I'm speaking to you as a MEMBER! And I want to tell you that you are the creepiest little bastard that I've ever encountered in 10 years of Internet use. You bring nothing to this forum other than total and utter shite, and have singlehandedly contributed to the lowest level of member usage sinc…

A buddy came back from hell today and I saw some pictures today of what's going on in Sri Lanka. The news reports don't do it justice. She is a relife worker for Christian Aid - wasn't supposed to go out until Feb 4th but due to the current crisis, went a day after the Tsunami happened. I almost went but I didn't realise you have to pay to go as an aid worker - a month in hell would cost £1100 so I had to decline. I'm told that it is so horrible that the only way to get through it is to try to mentally detach yourself from it all otherwise you'd go mad. She says that everything seems to conspire against you - even setting up a pyre to burn some rotting corpses…

Good day Yamahaclub members. I have been forced to come out of retirement just one more time.....to deal with another Internet storyteller. This person goes under the username of JMW. Just take a look at some of his posts from the last month or so: Anyone got something like an old Motad pipe or similar for a shaft drive XJ650 ?? Wanting NS400 parts. I really couldn't take full advantage on the road of a 2001 model R1. Hey NT - being a former ZXR owner, are you up with any tuning or general info on the bike. I'm doing one at the moment, need some guidance as everything looks pretty much spot on with the head and valves. Hmm, serious complaints from the r…
